Just another Box Project?
#13
Leftovers from those slips...was used to add drawer runners...
   
Set a drawer in it's home station...lay 2 runners on the drawer's sides..mark a line with a heavy pencil...goal is to glue the runners in place, covering those lines..
   
Then lay out for the "Divider"'s location..
   
But...it seemed a bit too plain...so..
   
It became a glue up...one was a tight fit between the sides of the case...the other was cut into a "Fair Curve"  that reach across the front edges of the case..

Then, glue that in place...cussing was involved...
   
The other front knob was also installed...

Let these sit a day..no rush..
Once the clamps did come off....I had to fit both drawers to where they will not get stuck...and..level the top and bottoms of the drawers...

Stay tuned...still have to work on the base and the lid...then MAYBE a finish?

Lid needed it's edges given a rounding over.  As a squared edge didn't look right..
   
And, since I don't have a router bit shaped the right way..I'll just make do with these...
   
Including the sandpaper.   Stanley No. 4-1/2c, Type 11,  Stanley No. 3, Type 15...and..
   
Done.  Rough out with the 4-1/2, remove the big facets with the #3....use the sandpaper as a shoe-shine towel to smooth it all down...

Next..attach the base to the case....with out any metal in use...
   
Unless you count all the clamps....around in front, there wasn't any place to clamp..
   
No place for the glue.   And, NOW would be a good time to fine tune the fit of both drawers....
   
This one fits...
   
This second one fits, but there is a different  Problem..
   

Cut the knob off, line the new knob up with the other drawer's knob...old location is now a "Knot"...
More about those "feet" in the next episode...
Stay tuned..
